Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the LORD, having gone to the chief priest,
And Saul yet brethynge oute threatnynges and slaughter agaynst ye disciples of the lorde went vnto ye hye preste
2 asked from him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, that if he may find any being of The Way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.
and desyred of him letters to Damasco to ye synagoges: that yf he founde eny of this waye whether they were men or wemen he myght bringe them bounde vnto Ierusalem.
3 And in the going, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly there shone around him a light from Heaven,
But as he went on his iorney it fortuned yt he drue nye to Damasco and sodenly ther shyned rounde about him a lyght fro heven.
4 and having fallen on the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
And he fell to ye erth and hearde a voyce sayinge to him: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And the LORD said, “I am Jesus whom you persecute; [[hard for you to kick at the goads”;
And he sayde what arte thou lorde? And the lorde sayd I am Iesus whom thou persecutest it shalbe harde for ye to kycke agaynst ye pricke.
6 trembling also, and astonished, he said, “Lord, what do You wish me to do?” And the LORD [said] to him, ]] “Arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told [to] you what you must do.”
And he bothe tremblynge and astonyed sayde: Lorde what wilt thou have me to do? And ye Lorde sayde vnto him: aryse and goo into the cite and it shalbe tolde the what thou shalt do.
7 And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice but seeing no one,
The men which iornayed with him stode amased for they herde a voyce but sawe no man.
8 and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,
And Saul arose from the erth and opened his eyes but sawe no man. Then ledde they him by the honde and brought him into Damasco.
9 and he was three days without seeing, and he neither ate nor drank.
And he was. iii. dayes with out syght and nether ate nor dranke.
10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the LORD said to him in a vision, “Ananias”; and he said, “Behold me, Lord”;
And ther was a certayne disciple at Damasco named Ananias and to him sayde the lorde in a vision: Ananias. And the he sayde: beholde I am here lorde.
11 and the LORD [says] to him, “Having risen, go on to the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he prays,
And the lorde sayde to him: aryse and goo into the strete which is called strayght and seke in the housse of Iudas after one called Saul of Tharsus. For beholde he prayeth
12 and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.”
and hath sene in a vision a man named Ananias comynge in to him and puttynge his hondes on him that he myght receave his syght.
13 And Ananias answered, “LORD, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Your holy ones in Jerusalem,
Then Ananias answered: Lorde I have hearde by many of this man how moche evell he hath done to thy sainctes at Ierusalem
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Your Name.”
and here he hath auctorite of the hye prestes to bynde all that call on thy name.
15 And the LORD said to him, “Go, because this one is a chosen vessel to Me, to carry My Name before nations and kings—also the sons of Israel;
The lorde sayde vnto him: Goo thy wayes: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me to beare my name before the gentyls and kynges and the chyldren of Israel.
16 for I will show him how many things he must suffer for My Name.”
For I will shewe him how great thinges he must suffre for my names sake.
17 And Ananias went away, and entered into the house, and having put on him [his] hands, said, “Saul, brother, the LORD has sent me—Jesus who appeared to you in the way in which you were coming—that you may see again, and may be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Ananias went his waye and entryd into ye housse and put his hondes on him and sayde: brother Saul the lorde that apperyd vnto the in the waye as thou camst hath sent me that thou myghtest receave thy syght and be filled with the holy goost.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he also saw again instantly, and having risen, was immersed,
And immediatly ther fell from his eyes as it had bene scales and he receaved syght and arose and was baptised
19 and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,
and receaved meate and was comforted. Then was Saul a certayne daye wt the disciples which were at Damasco.
20 and immediately he was preaching the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
And streyght waye he preached Christ in the synagoges how that he was the sonne of God.
21 And all those hearing were amazed and said, “Is this not he who laid waste in Jerusalem those calling on this Name, and here to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”
All that hearde him were amased and sayde: is not this he that spoyled the which called on this name in Ierusalem and came hyther for ye entent that he shuld bringe the bounde vnto the hye prestes?
22 And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
But Saul encreased in stregth and confounded the Iewes which dwelte at Damasco affirminge that this was very Christ.
23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
And after a good whyle ye Iewes toke counsell to gether to kyll him.
24 and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,
But their layinge awayte was knowen of Saul. And they watched at the gates daye and nyght to kyll him.
25 and the disciples having taken him, by night let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.
Then ye disciples toke him by night and put him thorow the wall and let him doune in a basket.
26 And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, tried to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,
And when Saul was come to Ierusalem he assayde to cople him silfe with ye discyples and they were all afrayde of hym and beleued not that he was a disciple.
27 and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he saw the LORD in the way, and that He spoke to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the Name of Jesus.
But Bernabas toke hym and brought hym to ye apostles and declared to the how he had sene ye Lorde in ye waye and had spoke wyth hym: and how he had done boldely at damasco in the name of Iesu.
28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem,
And he had his conuersacion with them at Ierusalem
29 and speaking boldly in the Name of the Lord Jesus; he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,
and quit hym silfe boldly in the name of the lorde Iesu. And he spake and disputed wyth the grekes: and they went aboute to slee hym.
30 and the brothers having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
But when the brethren knew of that they brought hym to cesarea and sent hym forth to Tharsus.
31 Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and going on in the fear of the LORD, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
Then had ye congregacios rest thorowoute all Iewry and galile and Samary and were edified and walked in the feare of the lorde and multiplied by the comforte of the holy gost.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, passing throughout all [quarters], also came down to the holy ones who were dwelling at Lydda,
And it chaunsed yt as Peter walked throughoute all quarters he ca to ye saynctes which dwelt at Lydda
33 and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name—for eight years laid on a pallet—who was paralytic,
and there he foude a certayne ma namyd Eneas whych had kepte hys bed viii. yere sicke of the palsie.
34 and Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you; arise and spread for yourself”; and immediately he rose,
Then sayde Peter vnto hym: Eneas Iesus Christ make ye whole. Aryse and make thy beed. And he arose immedyatly.
35 and all those dwelling at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the LORD.
And all that dwelt at lydda and assaron sawe hym and tourned to the lorde.
36 And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha (which interpreted, is called Dorcas); this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;
Ther was at Ioppe a certayne woma (whiche was a disciple named Tabitha which by interpretacion is called dorcas) the same was full of good workes and almes dedes which she did.
37 and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,
And it chaunsed in those dayes that she was sicke and dyed. When they had wesshed her and layd her in a chamber:
38 and Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men to him, calling on him not to delay to come through to them.
Because Lydda was nye to Ioppa and the disciples had hearde that Peter was there they sent vnto hym desyrynge him that he wolde not be greved to come vnto them.
39 And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.
Peter arose and came with them and when he was come they brought him in to ye chamber. And all ye wydowes stode roude aboute hym wepynge and shewynge the cotes and garmentes which Dorcas made whill she was with the.
40 And Peter having put them all forth outside, having bowed the knees, prayed, and having turned to the body, said, “Tabitha, arise”; and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,
And Peter put the all forth and kneled doune and prayde and turned him to ye body and sayde: Tabitha aryse. And she opened her eyes and whe she sawe Peter she sat vp.
41 and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive,
And he gave her ye honde and lyft her up and called the sainctes and wydowes and shewed her alyve.
42 and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the LORD;
And it was knowne throwout all Ioppa and many beleved on the Lorde.
43 and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.
And it fortuned that he taryed many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a tanner.
